A fact about a famous song ...

[mad4city]

Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl' was originally called 'Brown Skinned Girl'.

It was written for his then girlfriend, Cissy Houston (mother of Whitney, sister of Donne Warwick). Cissy - who later became a backing singer for Elvis Presley - called it off with Van before the song was recorded, leaving Van a tad miffed*. He then changed the title of the song as an act of defiance/ vengance.

*Van is no longer miffed about this. Van is the cheeriest, happiest c##t this side of Santa f##king Clause, right?!

Don Mclean was the inspiration for The Fugees 'Killing me Softly With his Song' which was originally a hit for Roberta Flack. Roberta Flack's other big hit was 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' which was written by Ewan McColl. Ewan's daughter, Kirsty McColl, sang 'There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis'. Elvis recorded 'And I Love You So' which was written by Don McLean.

So much better
McCartney began writing lyrics to suit it. As Lennon and McCartney were known to do at the time, a substitute working lyric, titled "Scrambled Eggs" (the working opening verse was "Scrambled Eggs/Oh, my baby how I love your legs"),
